Chapter 16 The One Who Steals Is Not necessarily a Thief
“Me, aggressive mania? Dr. Chen, stop fooling around.”
Brother Xu was shocked at first; then he laughed out loud.
“I’m not afraid to tell you that I’ve been a punching bag since I was young.”
“It’s always been others who bully me, and I never dare fight back.”
Brother Xu laughed so hard that his belly was about to split open.
He didn’t know what morbid self-control disorder was, but he knew he had nothing to do with manic disorder.
“Is there someone good at studying in chat? Can someone explain what morbid self-control disorder is?”
“Alright, here’s a definition. Morbid Self-Control Disorder, a type of emotional disorder.”
“A pathological manifestation that imposes the patient with strict demands on himself for a long time, which is equivalent to self-abuse. It is commonly known as self-abuse addiction, to gain a sense of security and satisfaction.”
“Isn’t that Brother Xu?”
“Obviously.”
“Brother Xu’s bath towel is basically a torn rag at this point, and he still doesn’t change it. His chopsticks are moldy, but he still uses them. I knew he was masochistic, but that’s just mental illness for you.”
The viewers teased him with a hint of sadness.
After reading one of the viewers’ explanations, everyone couldn’t help but feel that way.
Brother Xu was truly morbidly controlling himself.
“Being thrifty is a virtue. How can it be a mental illness?”
Brother Xu retorted.
“You’re right,” Chen Yu said. “Being thrifty and saving up is a traditional virtue. However, it becomes a disorder once it goes to the extreme.”
“Nonsense.”
Brother Xu couldn’t help but feel a little angry when he heard Chen Yu call his frugality a mental illness.
“This patient, please calm down. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to continue this talk.”
Chen Yu pointed out that Brother Xu was already showing signs of anger.
“I’m not angry,” Brother Xu said, suppressing his anger.
“I want to hear what else you have to say.”
“When you learn your most precious thing is about to disappear,” Chen Yu said, “your mania will flare up.”
“My most precious thing?”
Brother Xu was confused after hearing that.
“The most precious thing for a man is, of course, his virginity.”
“Oh, hey, let’s shake hands. I also graduated from an all-male school.”
“Brother Xu’s most precious thing should be money, right?”
“Congratulations to this person for learning the most obvious answer to that question.”
“Could it be that Brother Xu’s money is about to be whisked away?”
The netizens started speculating and analyzing how Brother Xu’s money would disappear.
“Dr. Chen, I’m afraid you’re wrong this time.”
Brother Xu smiled confidently and left his computer.
When he returned, he had a passbook in his hand.
As Brother Xu opened the passbook, a long string of numbers appeared before everyone.
Five million, five hundred and eighty-seven thousand, six hundred and twenty yuan.
Brother Xu knew very well that many phone fraud and internet theft cases had occurred over the past two years.
Therefore, Brother Xu’s bank account did not come with a bank card.
He also did not have an online account.
Even his wired bank transfer function was not activated.
The only way to withdraw money was to take his ID and passbook to the bank counter.
“Dr. Chen, may I ask how a thief or scammer took my money?”
Hearing Brother Xu’s question, Chen Yu replied unhurriedly, “The one riding the white horse might not be a prince, but it could also be a monk.”
“They may not necessarily need to be a thief or a scammer to take away your money.”
“Then who is it?”
Brother Xu’s tone was aggressive.
“Your family.”
“Impossible!”
“I have an excellent relationship with my family,” Brother Xu said loudly. “My parents and younger brother listen to my advice and have no reason to steal my money.”
“Even if they wanted to steal it, they wouldn’t even have the chance.”
“Even my parents and brother don’t know where I keep my passbook.”
Brother Xu got angry this time.
The more Chen Yu spoke, the more ridiculous he sounded.
How dare Chen Yu claim that his family stole from him?
This was simply preposterous.
His parents had always been proud of him.
Although his little brother was a little rebellious, he was always a good kid.
Anyone would steal his money, but not his family.
“Brothers, I have a feeling that Brother Xu is going to get slapped in the face.”
“I can vaguely see the resemblance in confidence that Cherry and Miss Zhou had in Brother Xu.”
“Is it going to be a family drama?”
“Good summary, LOL.”
“Come on. Would Brother Xu’s family really do such a thing?”
“There are a lot of relatives who turn against each other for money nowadays.”
Brother Xu wasn’t in the mood to focus on the chat. Instead, he insisted on Chen Yu’s public apology.
“If you don’t believe me, you can call the Department of Housing.”
Chen Yu spoke up.
“The Department of Housing? Why should I call them?”
Brother Xu demanded.
“Of course, to ask about the current situation of the few houses under your name.”
Hearing this, Brother Xu sneered.
“You’re not going to say they’ve used my house as collateral, are you?”
Chen Yu acknowledged Brother Xu’s guess by nodding.
“Hahaha…”
The next second, all the netizens in the livestream heard Brother Xu’s wild laughter.
“Has Brother Xu gone mad?”
“I think so. Otherwise, why would he laugh so crazily?”
“You guys are the idiots. If I were Brother Xu, I would laugh too.”
“Why?”
“According to the current regulations, property collateral requires the owner to be present in person. Otherwise, the loan cannot be processed.”
“How much debt does the above commenter have? Is it difficult to repay?”
“It’s hard. No shit.”
When Chen Yu claimed that Brother Xu’s family had stolen his money, everyone more or less believed it.
This time, none of them believed it.
Other than a large number of viewers with mortgages appearing to explain the situation, the rest of them also search for it on the internet.
The result was the same as what the first commenter had said.
Whether selling a property or using it as collateral, the owner of the property must be present.
This was a hard rule.
“This patient, you can find out the answer with a phone call on whether I’m telling the truth or not.”
Chen Yu still had the same attitude.
Despite Brother Xu questioning him, he never even showed the slightest nervousness.
“Fine, I’ll call.”
Brother Xu called the Department of Housing to prove that he had a close-knit relationship with his family.
“What?!”
Not long after, a loud scream rang out in the livestream.
“Oh my god, you scared me! My ears are about to go deaf.”
“I was cutting some vegetables. Brother Xu’s howl almost made me cut my finger off.”
“Could it be that Dr. Chen was right again?”
“The plot is thickening. I’ve decided to skip class this afternoon.”
“I’m skipping class too.”
“I took sick leave and skipped work.”
“Zhao Tiezhu, don’t think I can’t recognize you after changing your username. I’m your HR manager; come find me tomorrow to get your salary at the finance department.”
“Hahaha, someone decided to skip work and got screwed.”
“Dr. Chen, you really are a jinx.”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean he’s a jinx? It’s clearly Brother Xu who didn’t listen to Dr. Chen’s advice and insisted on staying to be tortured.”
“Aren’t you guys curious how the properties under Brother Xu’s name would be set as collateral without him being present?”
The chat instantly stopped.
The viewers all turned into Curious George at that moment.
They’d heard Brother Xu’s scream, and the answer had already surfaced.
The house was 100% used as collateral, but the problem was that it didn’t make sense.
